I am glad that you were not seriously hurt even though you had cuts, bruises and some pain from a crash with a metal railing on the outside of a curve. Thank goodness that you were wearing your helmet.<br />Riding a bicycle has always seemed to me as a good way to get exercise as it was for you. The reality you experienced follows that some basic safety criteria should always be followed just as driving any moving vehicle (motor or otherwise). Always be attentive and focused on the road or path ahead, travel at a speed that is posted or appropriate and wear the appropriate attire and protection for what you are driving or riding. Thanks again for sharing what happened to you during a bike ride and hopefully you have had many enjoyable rides since. <br />Larry Emig<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8228755375288277410.post-36300730613801751422018-10-01T15:45:41.466-05:002018-10-01T15:45:41.466-05:00Lisa, having destoyed a couple helmets myself, I c...Lisa, having destoyed a couple helmets myself, I couldn't agree more. <br />David LaRochehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07159433666524198966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8228755375288277410.post-35284578732207516642018-10-01T08:25:44.860-05:002018-10-01T08:25:44.860-05:00Thanks for sharing your experience, Lisa.

Ask Gelene about the importance of wearing a helmet, as well.

I had a similar experience when I was hit by a car 4-1/2 years ago. I later found out my helmet actually had a large split in it after I hit the ground, that could have easily been my head!Don Snydernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8228755375288277410.post-1279683652879530402018-10-01T07:55:52.351-05:002018-10-01T07:55:52.351-05:00Lisa, Thanks for the great reminder during Put the...Lisa, Thanks for the great reminder during Put the Brakes on Fatalities. Sometimes we get focused on driving a motor vehicle safely, that we forget the need to exercise safety in other means of travel. Such as wearing a helmet while biking and paying attention while walking. Thanks for the reminder. P.S. Thanks for giving Barnes, Kansas, a shout out with your photograph in front of the Hometown Cafe.Gelenenoreply@blogger.com
